Thursday Morning

Well Wednesday was almost a repeat of Tuesday with high heat,  humidity and no rain. We did get a nice off shore breeze which kept it quite pleasant outside in the late evening hours before sunset. Nancy once again spent the night with GG at her house and it looks as if this will become the pattern when she gets back from Michigan this summer for next year. There will have to be some trade off between her and her sister Betsy unless we can get some on to stay nightly with her as she is with us during the day starting with lunch through supper.

I started the day much the usual with a 6'ish roll out and to my daily morning routines that started with a cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble. I then spent some quiet time in thanksgiving and prayers for those I know who are hurting with my Creator. Afterwards it was check the local and world news and the social media before getting ready to head out on my bike to the Rec. for a couple hours of pickle ball. We have mostly B players but a couple of young guys who are progressing quite well and will become A players with more playing time. Those youths have such quickness and mobility which is an added advantage. I left with a wet shirt around 10.


I made a quick stop at the library for a couple new reads as that is about all I can do after lunch due to the heat and sunshine. Amy, GG and Eliza Faye all came for lunch around 12:30. I had already eaten a leftover burgers as I was hungry due to just an apple for my breakfast. I'm back on the "watch what I'm eating kick" as I'm adjusted my weight back up a couple of pounds especially around the spare tire with all of the family dinners and the getaway last week. I want to get and stay around the 180 mark if possible. I grilled marinated chicken breasts for our supper which turned out to be fajitas with grilled peppers, onions and mushrooms. Delicious as well as I added some garden fresh hot spicy peppers to mine. Betsy stopped by and finished up the leftovers then took her mom, GG shopping with her and then eventually home.

We walked up and visited the Botbyl's for a few minutes after the supper cleanup and then headed home as the mosquitoes were out as darkness fell. I tuned into the Ray's game and after blowing a 4 run lead the night before they pounded the Royals to a 12-1 win last night. About time they got some good pitching. Nancy left for her mom's around 10'ish about the time I turned the lights out. At least I don't have to wear ear plugs at nights to help with her snoring, oh well. That was about it as Trump has made it clear the business as usual in corrupt D.C. is coming to and end and the Dem's are furious and continue to blow smoke about the Russia's interfering with Hillary losing the election. I saw none of them in the voting booth at our polling place. She was a corrupt, lying candidate and we the people saw through her facade, LATER
